The Hidden Link Between Water & Disease - Dr. Zach Bush
"Los Angeles, where we sit today, has a 3-day food supply. To millions and millions of people. And so if an earthquake happens and disrupts the one highway system that comes into Los Angeles, we will lose our food supply in 3 days and we will have a massive riot and humanitarian crisis on our hands."
A physician and agricultural advocate warns that Los Angeles maintains only a 3-day food supply for its millions of residents, making it extremely vulnerable to natural disasters or supply chain disruptions. He attributes this vulnerability to the destruction of topsoils and 3,000-mile food supply chains resulting from chemical farming dependence. The claim frames major American cities as isolated islands dependent on fragile logistics.
